saw his boots first and always considered the
chances of war, and wondered who would get those
boots in case an accident were to happen to their
occupant. Although Hernandez shared the common danger of dying with his boots
on, there was no possibility of his
being buried with them on.
I had almost forgotten a little doctor named Janiz. I think he was
appointed largely on account of his
pleasing social qualities, for he never
seemed to know what to do when
a man was wounded. He would always open his little medical case and
spread it out all over the table and
study the instruments and then roll
them up, put them back again, and
turn with a sigh of relief to the good
old rag and diluted carbolic acid
treatment.
Janiz was a bit of an artist, and
made portraits that were in great
demand. One I reproduce ; it was
of Bertrand and did not flatter him
in the least. Janiz had a knack at
caricature, and a sense of humor
that made him sketch men who went to sleep
in chairs, or corners, in awkward poses or with
their mouths open, and then tickle them with
straws until they awoke. Janiz would himself
remain awake, even when fatigued, for fun of this
kind. Janiz and the little barrister, the alleged fire-
eater, had a joke that they passed between them.
Hernandez' beautiful boots.
